Giuliano Armano obtained his Ph.D. degree
in electronic engineering from the University
of Genoa, Italy, in 1990. He is currently
Associate Professor of computer engineering
at the Department of Electrical
and Electronic Engineering (DIEE), University
of Cagliari, leading also the IASC (Intelligent
Agents and Soft Computing) group.
His educational background ranges over expert
systems and machine learning, whereas
his current research activity is focused on (i) proactive and adaptive
behavior of intelligent agents and (ii) hybrid genetic-neural architectures
